Sensitivity of <i>Streptococcus</i> <i>viridans</i> to antibacterial agents in HIV-positive patients coupled to respiratory diseases

The streptococcus group consists of multiple species of globular Gram-positive facultative anaerobic bacteria, the classification of which is based on assessing their capacity to erythrocyte hemolysis. The viridans group streptococci produce a green coloration being a part of normal microflora in th...
